Bob Booker - Ballad of Irving lyrics



He was short and fat and road out of the West
With a Mogen David on his silver vest
He was mean and nasty right clear through
Which was kind of weird cause he was yellow too
They called him Irving
Big Irving
Big, short Irving
Big, short, fat Irving
The hundred and forty-second fastest gun in the West

He came from the old Bar Mitzvahs spread
Schlepping a salami and pumpernickel bread
He always followed his mother's wishes
Even on the range he used two sets of dishes
Irving
Big, fat Irving
Big sissy Irving
The hundred and forty-second fastest gun in the West

A hundred and forty-one could draw faster than he
But Irving was looking for one forty-three
Walked into Saul's saloon like a man insane
And ordered three fingers of two-cents plain
Irving
Big, fat Irving
Big sport Irving
The hundred and forty-second fastest gun in the West

The James boys was comin' on the train at first sun
And the town said, "Irving, we need your gun"
When that train pulled in at the break of dawn
Irving's gun was there, but Irving was gone
Irving
Big, fat Irving
Big help Irving
The hundred and forty-second fastest gun in the West

Well finally Irving got three slugs in the belly
It was right outside the frontier deli
He was sittin' there twirling his gun aroun'
And butter-fingers Irving gunned himself down
Irving
Big, fat Irving
Big dumb-dumb Irving
Big dumb-dumb, dead Irving
The hundred and forty-second fastest gun in the West
